I’m thrilled!

And I’m also blushing because Yaletown.ca wrote this feature on the Anthology/my face. Thank you, Teresa! My apologies to Fred Astaire, but I don’t remember where I found this image. If you know the photo credit, please send me a note.

I’d like to imagine

that when my friends and I get together we’d play the tambourine, discuss philosophy and be all artsy. Instead we drink cheap beer and watch reruns of 30 Rock. Image from Pandora.

In honour of Eva

Eva Markvoort, whose heartbreaking battle with cystic fibrosis was chronicled in the documentary 65_RedRoses, would have been 26 today. She lost her battle with the disease on Saturday. The legacy she leaves is one of hope. How many more people are organ donors because of the awareness she raised? How many more funds were raised? It would be impossible to measure because [...]

Suffering from SOW (Severe Olympics Withdrawal)

After five events (six if you count the Opening Ceremony dress rehearsal), two gold medal winnings, and far too many veggie dogs, my Olympic adventure is over. My favourite experience of the entire 17 days? It wasn’t watching the torch relay, or playing tourist in the city I grew up in, or admiring the Norwegian curling team’s [...]

Can we talk about the most amazing sport for a second?

Curling! How can you not love it? I’ve been to two Olympic hockey games so far and I think the curling fans might just be more fanatical.
